Chapter 40: Crazy Voting
This small northwestern city looks no different from the southern city, all the buildings are in the style of Manda, and even the expressions of the people are similar to those of the capital.
To the west, the territory controlled by the Charles family, most of these cities have had one or two dignitaries, who are naturally proficient in politics and, of course, in lies.
"The Forest of Blood is on that side, and if you're going, I want you to check out first. Page Six faced the hotel front desk alone, and the latter pointed in the opposite direction, and Ian looked in that direction, and there was an abrupt stone mountain.
Talking nonsense with my eyes open, I have never seen such a lie.
"That's it, I'll be back. Six pages touched his beard, revealing a mature smile of the middle-aged man.
Six pages with a map of Manda Country, the Blood Forest to the north of the city is already a well-known attraction, and legend has it that it is inhabited by powerful vampires, but the more you say it, many people don't believe it.
So, it became an attraction. There is an endless stream of people who step into the forest every day, but there is never a shortage of people, but there are often cases of abduction and trafficking of women and children in the city.
"Shall we go in?" Ian and the others, led by the six pages, dodged the gaze of passers-by and looked at the primeval forest in front of them.
"From here, there are no big cities. The so-called Forest of Blood is only a part of Charlie's Forest, and if there is really someone we are looking for inside, it may have to go very deep. After saying this, Page Six glanced back at the town, then at the tourists who seemed to be coming and going, and muttered, "Maybe we should think in the opposite direction?" ”
Instead of choosing to walk through the gate of the attraction, Six Pages went around the alley, from the edge of the town back to the most lively bazaar, and began to look behind his back, little by little.
"Lord Six-Pages?" Ian followed, as everyone blended into the crowd, and Six-Page unraveled the silence spell, but gave Ian and them a face-changing spell. No one recognized that this was the last young master of the Ian family, but Ian listened carefully, and the things they discussed were all related to him.
"Think about it, if I'm a vampire, why would I live in the forest? Because no matter how deep I live, there's always someone going to look for me. "Silent six pages paid for a newspaper and looked at the front page above. No matter how remote the place, the news these days is related to Ian IV and Isha's murder.
Behind the countless speculations, there is always a result.
Panic protocol.
"The bet that I lied has already exceeded 800,000. Ian glanced behind him and smiled, "It would be nice if all this money was mine." ”
"Do you think you're lying or telling the truth now?" asked Page Six.
"I don't know. Ian laughed at himself: "I want to know the results too." ”
"You have to know how difficult it is to reach a billion votes, in Manda, almost everyone has to give a little bit of money to meet this flurry value. ”
"What about the rich people? Isn't there any hidden rich man in Manda?"
"They're all in the city of Covey, and there's no room for people who can only play financial games. Six pages shoved the newspaper to Chanel and Pamorisa in the back.
"The patriarch of our elven clan is quite rich...... "Pamelissa said, "but he also lives in Covey City. ”
"Then it's not the collapse of the people I killed them. ”
"Ian IV, the matter is still undecided. Page Six looked Ian in the eye, only to find that the latter had no intention of dodging at all.
"If you give me a gun and a troop, I can do it. Ian unfolded the map of the country of Manda, and in his eyes, every city was like a fortress and a stronghold, and every national highway was like a marching route: "This country is not very big. ”
"This is not the point, even if you are Lucius Grant, there is no way to fight against the Manda Country. Because if you choose to be the enemy of all, you are in danger of being voted. All of them are united, and even if you are alive, they can vote for death. Page Six said as he looked towards the center of the bazaar, where every city found the Bu Yi Square.
There are also voting centers.
"Pamulissa, do me a favor. Ian watched as people surrounded the voting gates and gave out his wallet: "If I want to press myself to tell the truth, I will press a hundred." ”
"Hey. "Pamulissa is always the most obedient character, and it is not surprising that she comes back and asks for the password again.
"What's wrong?" asked Page Six, next to him, "You want some psychological comfort?"
"Nope. Ian shook his head, "Let's go ahead and see." ”
I saw Pamulissa holding Ian's wallet, and the panic value stored in it was no longer used in the Ian family's account. Elves were already rare in the cities of the Northwest, but now she squeezed into the voting center and quickly attracted everyone's attention.
People are crowded here, not to vote, but largely to stare at the people who come to vote. Now everyone has chosen to bet that Ian IV is lying, and they have waited a day, and none of them can wait for an exception.
"I'm going to ...... Bet, Panic Ceremony No. 0-0-017. ”
"Ian IV's panic. The staff was not surprised: "How much?"
"One hundred. Pamorisa leaned in front of the window: "Oh, no, it's not a lie, it's true, yes, this button, it's this......"
In an instant, the staff's movements stopped.
The scene was suddenly quiet, and Pamelisa was like a white rabbit besieged by a pack of hyenas, looking around stupidly, and smiling when she saw the handsome boy.
This is probably the first time since the Isha incident that anyone has bet that Ian IV is telling the truth.
"Miss, please tell me why you voted. The staff leaned forward and almost forgot to vote for her.
"Miss, are you crazy?!"
"Is there an insider!?"
The people surrounded Pamulissa, and it seemed that if she didn't tell the reason, she wouldn't be able to leave for a while. She threw her eyes for help in Ian's direction, but she was too short and blocked by the crowd, and it seemed that Ian and the others were no longer in their original positions.
"Riots, a lot of people are still eager to be reversed, I said before that we still have a chance, it's not groundless. Ian's tone came to his senses, and they found a place to sit down and began to observe the people around them.
The real news that a girl wanted to bet spread quickly, although it was only a hundred yuan, but after a few hundred meters, she quickly became a millionaire.
But among these people, there are more wait-and-see.
They are waiting for news.
The case about Isha is actually full of suspicions, if the House of Lords really wants to suppress the Ian family, it will directly arrest Ian IV. There is no need to find the so-called murderer, but to put the murderer's only witness in the past few days home, and people who are a little smarter will not go out to vote.
In the midst of this madness, they are always the most sane people.
But at least.
"I wanted to know who would believe me and how much money they had. Mr. Six Pages, in the past six months, I still want to try to canvass for myself. ”
"If you want, Blacktower can help you. Six pages were like immortal pages, and they quickly threw an olive branch to Ian.
"But the Black Tower is inconvenient after all, and I think I probably know why there used to be so many 'special' 'subordinates' in my family, who were originally hired by my father. ”
"Young master, the master is very good to us. Shana fanned Ian on the side.
"Didn't I say this, don't you want to think about what it's like for all of you to be together?"
"Lisa and I cleaned up...... Miss Isha will help us with the arrangement...... Mr. Oleg will cook on time, uh...... Mr. Dahn was always available...... will set up a carriage to take us to the capital, I think others are bigger than horses~"
Hearing this, Ian covered his face and did not answer. The silent six pages next to him smiled and whispered: "Actually, I didn't think of the identities of those people, Heita only knows Isa, and we don't even know Isa's strength." ”
"I think that's why we're being targeted. Ian looked up: "People love lying, but they don't like people to lie to themselves, and the House of Lords doesn't like the Ian family to lie to them." ”
"Children, what nonsense is telling the truth. Six pages took a sip of coffee and continued to watch the farce at the polling center.
Suddenly, at this moment, Nemesis next to him seemed to feel something, and he looked up at the nearby tall building, there seemed to be a café on that floor, and the shadow under the glass window seemed to hide a person.
He didn't call it hiding, he just sat there, but it seemed to merge with the darkness, perfectly hiding from the surrounding sun.
"There's something wrong with that guy. Nemesis said, "He's looking at us." ”
Ian frowned and followed Nemesis' gaze. Bright yellow roses bloomed outside a small four-story building opposite, almost covering the figure of the young man under the floor-to-ceiling windows, revealing only a pair of eyes.
Ian and the others were sitting in an open-air café, their feet were already in a mess, and there were many people sitting upstairs watching, but they didn't just stare at their group.
Deliberately? or is it a coincidence?
"I said that if I were him, I wouldn't have to hide in the forest. Six pages' face slowly became solemn.
"So you think he's? no, it's too obvious. Ian had just stood up to see better, but the man quickly stood up and disappeared under the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Hey, why did he run away?" said Shana, only to be knocked on the back of the head by Six Pages.
"Don't be stupid, he sensed that I was using a spirit spell. Six pages withdrew his blue glowing right hand, grabbed his luggage, and said to the three of them, "Call Pamelissa back, we'll go get him first." Whoever he is, there are bound to be some clues to find your chef. Wait, Hudruman, what are you holding? Put that case back on me! Don't think I don't know what's in it!"
